But the species is a highly adaptable one and one which was a focal point of the war between the two halves of Elsweyr (2).\u0026nbsp; Khajiit breeds not being treated as they should've been.\n\nMake a note of the fact that when I say breeds, I am not simply referring to our species as though we were a kind of dog, where you mix one variant with another and get something new.\u0026nbsp; No, that's not what I'm telling you.\u0026nbsp; Khajiit breeds are not chosen by the physical traits of the parents, but by the phases of the moon.\u0026nbsp; I know this may sound strange to an outsider, but when a Khajiit is born, it is a small, mewling kitten, no matter what its eventual breed.\n\nAfter two months, it begins to adapt and change form, rapidly progressing to a point where it becomes obvious what breed it is.\u0026nbsp; Especially if it is one of our quadruped brethren.\u0026nbsp; Paws will stretch and shapen, forming hands or paws.\u0026nbsp; The jaw will change shape, as will the neck.\u0026nbsp; The very spine undergoes rapid and extreme changes.\u0026nbsp; All to form a new Khajiit, under a form chosen by Jone and Jode, the two moons, on the day of the kitten's birth.\u0026nbsp; Following, is a list of Khajiit breeds, their appearance and sub-variations.\u0026nbsp; Also, attached by each breed is a commonness outside of Elsweyr number (Imperial Digits, set in square brackets) and a list of Khajiit in this tome that match that breed.\n\n**Cathay [VII]**\n\nOne of the most common of Khajiit breeds, Cathay are also one of the most impressive.\u0026nbsp; Generally standing around 6 feet tall, they are a warrior breed.\u0026nbsp; Not as agile as a Suthay, but still nimble and fleet.\u0026nbsp; Notables include: Jo'akora, Ma'jyrr, Dro'amoreth, Dar'isa, Midnight, Dar'mhirr, S'rassa, Dar'shaza, Khazzi, \u0026nbsp;J'zargo, Kharjo, Ri'saad.\n\n**Cathay-raht [IV]**\n\nRarer than Cathay, outside Elsweyr, stand the Cathay-raht.\u0026nbsp; These Khajiit are the absolute warriors in Elsweyr.\u0026nbsp; Standing around 7 to nine feet tall, the Cathay-raht are a match for the most grizzled of Nords and Orcs.\u0026nbsp; Notables: J'nari, S'mrischa-do.\n\n**Suthay [VIII]**\n\nOne of the most common breeds of Khajiit spotted outside Elsweyr, lies the Suthay.\u0026nbsp; Smaller than the Cathay, at about 5 and a half feet tall, the Suthay are also digitigrade Khajiit.\u0026nbsp; Nimble and quick, the Suthay make excellent thieves, which is in part where our stereotype arises from.\u0026nbsp; Notables: Dar'shada\n\n**Suthay-raht [VII]**\n\nAnother common variant, the Suthay-raht breed of Khajjit stand taller than their Suthay brethren, topping the scales at just about six feet even.\u0026nbsp; Only mildly shorter than Cathay, Suthay-raht are a good mix breed and stand digitigrade, like the Suthay.\u0026nbsp; Notables: Razum-dar, Dar'mhira, Jiira, Azi, Do'kharza, Do'razzi.\n\n**Pahmar** [**III**]\n\nRarely found outside of Elsweyr lie the Pahmar.\u0026nbsp; Very much like tigers, the Pahmar are the first quadruped species we'll cover.\u0026nbsp; Just as intelligent as any other Khajiit, the Pahmar are unable to speak or cast magic, yet are fearsome opponents in combat.\n\n**Pahmar-raht [IV]**\n\nThe Pahmar-raht have the distinction of being larger than their Pahmar cousins.\u0026nbsp; No more smart, the Pahmar-raht are dangerous.\n\n**Tojay[V]**\n\nTojay are notable as being the fastest of Khajiit breeds.\u0026nbsp; With short, tiger-patterned fur covering their bodies, the Tojay are a beautiful breed.\u0026nbsp; With powerful digitigrade legs, the bipedal Tojay can race down a Senche-raht.\n\n**Tojay-raht[III]**\n\nA larger variant of the Tojay breed, Tojay-raht are also slightly slower and unable to keep pace.\u0026nbsp; Less nimble than their counterparts as well.\n\n**Senche**\n\nA large breed of Khajiit, Senche stand six feet at the shoulder, topped only by the mounstrous Senche-raht.\n\n**Senche-raht [II]**\n\nStanding eleven feet at the shoulder, the Senche-raht is as big as they come.\u0026nbsp; Known to Imperials as \"Battlecats\", Senche-raht make good tanks.\n\n**Alfiq [VI]**\n\nAt a direct contrast to the Senche-raht, stand the Alfiq.\u0026nbsp; As small as housecats, the Alfiq are possibly the smartest of Khajiit breeds.\u0026nbsp; Despite their quadrupedal stance, Alfiq are also the most magical breed.\u0026nbsp; They make excellent spies.\n\n**Alfiq-raht [III]**\n\nThe only difference between the Alfiq and the Alfiq-raht is the size.\u0026nbsp; Alfiq stand only marginally larger than their cousins.\n\n**Ohmes [VIII]**\n\nA rather common breed of Khajiit, the Ohmes appear very much like the Bosmer.\u0026nbsp; With elf-like pointed ears and a coat of fur so thin it seems transparent, most actually mistake the two in their first meeting.\n\n**Ohmes-raht**\n\nAgain, slightly larger than their cousins, the Ohmes-raht also differ vastly in appearance.\u0026nbsp; While the Ohmes could pass as a Bosmer, an Ohmes-raht breed of Khajiit could not, seeing as they have cat-ears and a tail, along with digitigrade feet.\u0026nbsp; Often shunned by imperials as unholy cat-elf hybrids.\n\n**Dagi**\n\nA very light and nimble breed of Khajiit, the Dagi are the smallest of the humanoid Khajiit breeds.\u0026nbsp; Standing about three feet tall, and very nimble and thin, the Dagi are possibly as good archers as the Bosmer themselves.\u0026nbsp; Able to ascend to the highest and lightest of branches, where even Bosmer cannot go, the Dagi are beneficial war partners.\n\n**Dagi-raht**\n\nOnly mildly larger than the Dagi, the Dagi-raht are even better arachers.\u0026nbsp; Stronger limbs allow the greater pulling of a bowstring.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nElsweyr, sweet Elsweyr\n\nWhere men-like cats roam\n\nWhere beasts can think\n\nAnd housecats spell\n\nDear Elsweyr\n\nOh my Elsweyr\n\nThe tropics call me\n\nTorval-bound\n\nGlorious and loved\n\nLies my Elsweyr\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**Elsweyr-**\n\n**Archmage Jo'akora**\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Story of the Khajiit","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1194258-anequina.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1194266-jo-akora-the-dragonmage.json"}}
